Just three minutes after the second half kicked off, play had to be stopped with two Lajong players going down in agony after a clash of heads.

As they rose in the air to head clear a ball crossed into their penalty area, Daniel Odafin and Juho Oh ended up clattering each other. Oh, who came in from behind, ended up putting his head straight into the back of Odafin's neck area.

It was a moment of concern in the match as officials and players from both sides stopped play so that the two could get the required medical attention. Odafin was the one who was down for longer and looked to be a bit shaken as he rose to his feet. He was checked for a concussion, but eventually, both the players were given the green light to get back in the game.

A huge relief for all.
